非子图族上嵌入分布的下界

Lower Bounds for Embedding into Distributions over Excluded Minor Graph Families

Douglas E. Carroll, Ashish Goel

摘要:

最近Fakcharoenphol等人证明了任意有限度量可以嵌入到失真为O(log n)的树度量上的分布中。它也是已知的,这个界是紧的,因为有扩展图,不能嵌入到分布在树比欧米茄(log n)失真。我们表明,这同样的下限持有嵌入到分布在任何未成年人排除家庭。给定一个图族F,F不包含子图M,其中|M| =k,我们明确地构造了一个树宽为-(k+1)的图族,它不能嵌入到F上的一个失真优于Omega(log n)的分布中.因此,虽然这些未成年人排除家庭的图比树更有表现力,他们不提供渐近更好的近似一般。一个重要的推论是,树宽k的图不能嵌入到树宽k-3的图上的分布中,失真小于Omega(log n)。我们还扩展了阿隆等人的结果表明,对于任何k,平面图不能嵌入到分布在树宽-k图比欧米茄(log n)失真。

英文摘要:

It was shown recently by Fakcharoenphol et al that arbitrary finite metrics can be embedded into distributions over tree metrics with distortion O(log n). It is also known that this bound is tight since there are expander graphs which cannot be embedded into distributions over trees with better than Omega(log n) distortion. We show that this same lower bound holds for embeddings into distributions over any minor excluded family. Given a family of graphs F which excludes minor M where |M|=k, we explicitly construct a family of graphs with treewidth-(k+1) which cannot be embedded into a distribution over F with better than Omega(log n) distortion. Thus, while these minor excluded families of graphs are more expressive than trees, they do not provide asymptotically better approximations in general. An important corollary of this is that graphs of treewidth-k cannot be embedded into distributions over graphs of treewidth-(k-3) with distortion less than Omega(log n). We also extend a result of Alon et al by showing that for any k, planar graphs cannot be embedded into distributions over treewidth-k graphs with better than Omega(log n) distortion.
